Super Bowl watchers are torn on whether or not Lady Gaga gave a political message with her halftime show.

She started the show performing God Bless America, This Land is your Land and featuring drones with red and blue lights coming together and forming a flag. And she recited key portions of the pledge of Allegiance.

Gaga performed "Born this Way." Fans felt like it was a subtle political message. Others felt the moment during "Stay" when she hugged a fan was her political message.

Possibly the most interesting part of the show was the flying dots used to make the flag and later the Pepsi logo. The dots were drones and the NFL had to have special permission from the FAA for the performance.
